One simple install becomes a major headache.

thanks

I agree with u, It was really hard to pull it apart. I used a needle nose pliers to pull them apart but did damage the small plastic lip. Otherwise its really hard to pull them apart. There doesnt seem to be a small tab that u press to release them. If u use pliers, be sure to put a small cloth and hold it to avoid scratches and stay far away from the little lip. Even if its broken, the inside connectors r fine and they will still work.

Just installed on the front and rear doors on my M3 and made a video for those interested or needing help on the process!

Where did you get this projector ?

Yes same here

Installed mine a couple of weeks back. Looks pretty good.

How would you rate the brightness? Been looking at this and the ones from BMW that just say “M”. The BMW ones look like they may be brighter but hard to tell.

They are very visible in my pre-LCI M4.

Im wondering why these Mlogo door projectors are not standard on Mcars while they put Mlogo all over the place from interior to exterior and even wheels. I counted there are 12 logos including the one on odometers and seats ☺️

Well, I want less of the M logos…. More BMW marketing approach…

For reference, here’s a picture of mine from openthrottle. I’ve only had it for a week so I can’t comment on quality but as of now it looks good.
